Bidets help with hemorrhoids

Most women experience hemorrhoids sometime during pregnancy or after the birth of their child. This happens for many reasons: the weight of the child pressing on the bowel, more difficult bowel movements as pregnancy progresses, and the strain that occurs during childbirth.

Hemorrhoids can range from a slight nuisance to major pain - depending on how severe they are. Bidets can help tremendously with this. Every bidet model from the most basic to the most advanced will gently clean the affected area and ensure there is no stool to promote bacteria growth. In addition, when you use a bidet or bidet toilet seat, there is no need for toilet paper, which often makes hemorrhoids worse.

Other benefits during pregnancy

As a pregnancy progresses it is not unusual for a woman to become less flexible and mobile. Unfortunately, in the last few months of pregnancy, this can mean that bathroom activities become more difficult. With a bidet you don't have to worry about twisting behind you or bending forward to get yourself clean. A bidet has a gentle flow of water that ensures your cleanliness all the way through your pregnancy.

Postpartum uses

As helpful as a bidet toilet seat can be during pregnancy, it help even more during the postpartum period after pregnancy.
